lighting

[iancornwall]

hi got some outside lights to do but these are low voltage 12v, the transformer has a plug top on it but i have a lighting feed right next to where the transformer is going to go so can i tag is off this 6amp supply? not sure on the wattage but is 5 12v lights.
thanks

someone should no, dont seem to put 12v in very much and need to know wether the 6amp supply will be enough or wether i need put a 13amp supply in to power this,

also is there any supply types that you cant use your own earth for a garage supply, a friend has a swa going out to his garage being run off an old cooker curcit. on a 32amp breaker to another 4way board with an earth rod at the garage. if the earth is conected in the swa and using the armer for earth back to the board, is there any advantages for a earth rod or could this possibly make a differance in patential?

ps please dont say if you dont know ask some one quailfied to do the work, i am currantly doing a aprentiship and am just looking for some info to learn as much as i can on this thanks fr your time

Ask a qualified tradesman to do the work for you.

why is it as some one trying to learn always finds it so hard to ask stuff to try and get a better knowedge? isnt the whole idea of learning from other peoples skills?

Because regulations say you are not yet competent. If you need advice, then best not to ask the trade that you want to take work from.

its all exsiting already, all i was asking was for help with loading with regards to the transformer for low voltage lighting. and that i was asking about the earth because theer is the rod and swa earth coming into the garage board and wanted to know simply because i didnt know. sorry for wasting your time and trying to learn the trade maybe i should go and get sponsered by the doll office and take your tax money instead? like many of us we cant become confidant to do any work without learning
